Quiche Alsacienne





Crust: I use the one on the inside back cover of my red and white checked cookbook... you know the one! I used butter, and a bit more water (because I just don't want to deal with a dry, crumbly dough!)
Blind bake just a bit, hence the foil and beans... It helps keep the crust from becoming soggy.
Filling: brown onion (that makes it a "Alascienne"), added chopped (leftover) bacon, love Farmer's brand.
Place some diced or grated Swiss cheese (I diced some slided Swiss), in the bottom of the pie, some bacon/onion, more cheese, more bacon/onion.
Eggs: I used 4 eggs and some half-n-half, seasoned with pepper and a sprinkle of nutmeng. Pour over filling. Bake. I baked it at 400 because I had an apple pie in the oven, too.

To aforementioned spaghetti sauce, add smoked paprika, cumin, diced jalapeno pepper, cooked lentils, can of pinto beans (rinsed, drained), leftover corn, dried diced green chilies.
Serve with home fried corn tortilla chips, diced jalapeno, red onion, shredded cheddar.

Riced Potatoes




Yes, it really does make a difference...
